Amalgamated Bank, a subsidiary of Amalgamated Financial Corp. announced the successful closing of a Commercial Property Assessed Clean Energy (“C-PACE”) financing under the Davidson County C-PACER Program using Allectrify’s FASTPACE Platform.
The nearly $1.7M retroactive C-PACE financing recapitalized the recently completed project, which is a gut rehab of an 80-plus year-old retail structure. The retail space is home to several bustling small businesses, including the newest location of M.L. Rose Craft Beer & Burger, a popular local chain.
The property is owned and operated by A. Ray Hospitality, a local restaurant group owned by Austin Ray, himself a Nashville-based restaurateur for over two decades. The project includes electrical improvements related to interior & exterior LED lighting, high-efficiency HVAC, improved roof and wall insulation, energy efficient windows, and storm resiliency measures.
